 DESCRIPTION::
 
 This plugin is an analog tape loss emulation algorithm by Jatin Chowdhury, a mini version of the mindblowing link::https://github.com/jatinchowdhury18/AnalogTapeModel vst plugin::. For a deep dive, link::https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jatin/420/tape/TapeModel_DAFx.pdf##see Chowdhury's paper on analog tape modelling::. 
-This smaller version is mostly useful as a tape loss.
